Experienced Carlsbad Child Custody Attorneys

Carlsbad and North County child custody and parenting time issues can be some of the most emotionally challenging and legally complex issues associated with family law. The experienced Carlsbad child custody attorneys at Burke and Domercq have decades of experience in these matters. We protect the interests of our clients, and work to accomplish their goals and objectives in legal matters involving their children.

One example is move away and relocation cases. It is not uncommon for one parent to attempt to move out of the area or relocate out of state without obtaining permission from our local Court. If your former spouse takes a child or children out of the area without permission from the Court you must act immediately.

Move away and relocation child custody cases are all about “venue.” Venue is the legal term for the Court who will have jurisdiction over your case. For example, if you obtained a divorce in Carlsbad that included child custody orders the jurisdiction is here in California.

The moment your ex takes the kids and moves the clock begins to tick. Some states allow your ex to apply for emergency jurisdiction orders in their new home within a matter of as short as a few weeks. If they moved to North Carolina and obtained emergency jurisdiction orders, the “venue” for your case would be North Carolina’s Court.

As your California Certified Specialists in family law and experienced Carlsbad child custody attorneys we would take prompt action to preserve venue so that our local Courts would maintain jurisdiction. We would then seek immediate orders for the return of your child(ren). California Courts become very upset with parents who take children out of the area or out of state without permission, and this can and will affect present and future child custody and visitiation as well as child support orders.

Is your former spouse making it difficult for you to see your children, even when you are supposed to have parenting time? Has your situation substantially changed since the child custody orders were issued? Do you wish to ask the Court to give you more time with your kids?
